What man page are you looking at? Here's what I have:
===================================================================
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
In the 1st form, create a link to TARGET with the name LINK_NAME.
===================================================================
What in that snippet from the man page is difficult to understand?
cc -> gcc
Why would you interpret that link to mean the current directory?
Especially when the next sentence (2nd form) specifically mentions
the current directory.
